“The decision to end this chapter in my life was not made impulsively and comes with a heavy heart,” he began in a statement sent to Just Jared.

“Despite this, my love and respect for Jeannie remains and the time we spent together holds a cherished place in my heart. Our beautiful daughter is the best gift from our relationship and I am committed to assuring she feels the love and stability she deserves. During this period, I kindly request that you respect our family’s privacy as we focus on healing.”

In the court documents, Jeezy said that he has been separated from Jeannie and that they have a prenuptial agreement. He is also seeking joint legal custody of their daughter Monaco, who was born in January 2022.
